Next To Heaven 2.7 - Westinghouse
About this film
Next To Heaven is a web-based remix project using footage from archive.org to create new narratives. Back in September of 2006 I launched Next To Heaven with this staccato mission statement, “I download movies from Archive.org. I watch the movies. I write and record new audio. I re-cut the video to the new audio. Every Wednesday there will be a new movie.” And so it was for 52 straight weeks. In January 2011, I started releasing Season 2, another 52-week effort. During both seasons I learned a lot about storytelling, saw scores of amazing public domain films, and garnered a bit of love in the form of awards, film festival appearances, and favorable press. “More brilliantly bizarre than ever” —The Guardian “a pervasive sense of loss, faded memories, tragic childhoods, dreams unfulfilled, and dirty secrets unrevealed” —Gareth Branwyn, Boing Boing “fascinating and addictive” —Karina Longworth Please enjoy these films! I loved making them! Rob Parrish www.nexttoheaven.net
